Maximum Sentences Handed Out In Megan Williams Case

To read all of our previous Megan William's post, you can go here. Also you will want to listen to our podcast where one of Megan's advisers crashed our "Good News" podcast to take issue with some criticisms I lodged at the circus-like atmosphere that appeared to be surrounding Megan.
Listen to Black Women's Roundtable on internet talk radio
Well two of the seven people charged entered into plea deals and got sentenced today to the maximum,
Forty-six-year-old Karen Burton and 49-year-old Frankie Brewster were among seven white Logan County residents who were charged in the Williams case.

Logan County Circuit Judge Roger Perry sentenced Burton, of Chapmanville, to three consecutive sentences. She received separate 2-10 year sentences for malicious assault and assault during the commission of a felony and 10 years for the civil rights charge.

Brewster received a 10-to-25-year sentence for second-degree sexual assault. CBS NEWS

Carmen is still at it:
"I just believe the (prosecutor Brian Abraham) shouldn't have plea bargained with any of them," her mother Carmen Williams said during a press conference after the sentencing, according to the Charleston Daily Main. "She (Megan Williams) wanted them to do life." CBS News
If you want to hear the lunacy surrounding this case, you can go back and listen to our "Good News" podcast that got crashed by Rev. Kenneth Glascow, Rev. Al Sharpton's brother, where we "discussed" the circus surrounding the case. My Mama swears that it was actually Rev. Al that called in.

There is something seriously wrong with Carmen Williams. Does she not understand that her daughter would've been excoriated on the witness stand had they taken this case to trial? Geez!

I worry about her, seriously.

Thanks for sharing. I'm still ticked off by that Montel move. That was playing it way too close.

"My Mama swears that it was actually Rev. Al that called in."

LOL, that crossed my mind.

I worry about Megan. Roslyn there will likely one at least one trial in this case. There are five defendants remaining and i am sure that those potential jury pools are watching all of this.

Yeah, I mean the first thing they are going to ask her about is the money, cash, and trips she has received. The second thing they are going to do is play back or read back all of these out of court statements that she has made. Like Roslyn said, it would be a rough cross examination.

Not to mention when they start asking her about her relationship with one of the defendants. It would be almost impossible to coach her on how to answer questions and not answering more than was asked. Yeah, it'll be brutal and because she appears to be of diminished capacity it would be like shooting ducks in a barrel. I just hope all of them plead and shut it down.

I still believe that they all would've pled if those morons hadn't gotten involved. The DA is probably very eager to make a deal, and the defense is more likely to want to go to trial because they figure they've got a chance with a tainted jury pool. Then we're they're acquitted the New Black Panthers and their ilk can go on about the injustice, ignoring their own role in it.
